Eco-cities standards for China
Following significant development, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office is funding collaborative work by the UK-China Eco-cities & Green Building Group, working with the Chinese Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD) and the Chinese Society of Urban Studies on an action-research project to develop and implement eco-city policies across a range of Chinese cities. ZZA is on the project Steering Group.
